Fall 2010

(At
the 1st time in the world, labs and course projects will base on the use and
flight test of five sets of real quadrotor helicopter
UAVs available at Concordia University as you can see from the pictures and demos)

(A new graduate course to be offered starting from Sept. 2010 at Concordia
University. Projects based on the above quadrotor UAVs and other fixed-wing airplanes for fault
detection, diagnosis and fault tolerant control design, simulation,
implementation and flight test will be planned. Welcome to take this useful and
practical course!)
